14:37 | Curitiba (Brazil), Apr. 25.
The interrogation of OAS construction company ex-Chairman Leo Pinheiro is on standby, as the parts involved are waiting for the resolution of the collaboration agreement standardization with Brazilian authorities, Peru's Lava Jato Case Special Prosecution Group Prosecutor German Jaurez informed Thursday.
In this sense, the Prosecutor explained that —without the accord standardization— Pinheiro's attorneys have notified the Peruvian side that he will not give his statement.
Likewise, Juarez indicated the ex-CEO is willing to give his testimony to Peruvian authorities. However, it seems that his legal defense members have advised him not to.
"We must continue with the investigations, whether he gives his statement or not, whether this person is willing to collaborate or not," the Prosecutor added.
It should be noted Pinheiro's interrogation was suspended up to three times, due to problems with the collaboration agreement standardization process.
